Aluminium sliding doors

[alisonol]

I need to replace an aluminium sliding door (1.8W by 2.06H)

Can one tell me what they would be worth new to have supplied and fitted? Roughly?

I am in the Sutherland shire Sydney. Any suggestions on who to use?

Hi,
I'm having the same problem and I've had two quotes, similar measurements to you, and the people who said they would install as well quoted nearly $2300!!!
I am now looking for a place that may just supply the door for us, but it still seems to be around $1400. If anyone out there has any other suggestions??
I have also been looking on ebay - sometimes there are NEW sliding doors etc... at reasonable prices. I guess the trick there is finding the right size.
Good luck!

Hi,
I recently bought two at/2410x 2110 and one at 1810x2110.

Powder coat with security screens. Complete frames and door combinations. $3000 total. Manufacture gives me fixing details and glazing cert. for certifier. I provide stat. dec. for fixing.

Took me on average a day each to fix. Mine was a very easy fix,
6mm dynabolts to concrete walls.
Actually took probably as long to remove old frames neatly, than fixing new.
The only hassles with a job like this is if you want to change the opening size. A different ball game.

If you still have good doors, you can change and adjust the rollers to give you a better action.

Usually sliders are built to standard sizes, because of the requirement for laminated/toughened glass. Measure outside of frame.

I would't use Ebay stuff (might not comply to Aus standards) or second hand because I can't get glazing cert. Your conditions may vary.
